Melissa & Doug Stained Glass Coloring Pad-Fairies User Reviews

The pages tear out of this book easily, making it easy to choose and share pictures. They are all about 8 1/2" x 11". We used pictures from this pad as a gathering activity for a birthday party, and it was a hit! - Momof3 We keep these in the car for long rides or to take into the doctor's office or church. My daughter loves them. - Susan K My cousin's daughter loved this pad! She loves fairies and can't wait to draw and color it all up! Thanks - Michelle Landino My two daughters (4 and 2) love these stained glass coloring pads. We have purchased the princess and animal pads and both have been a big hit. Both girls will sit for a while and color a picture or two. We have started hanging them up on our patio doors and friends are always asking where to get them for their kids. Good quiet activity to do with the kids. Markers needed so they can get a little messy. - AKR3 This product is amazing.... I love it! If you use markets

Forte focused on beating Steelers

September 20, 2013|Fred Mitchell Matt Forte isn't intimidated with the prospect of facing the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday night for the first time in his career. "I play for the best city, so I am not worried about them," Forte said. "I am going there to win a football game. That's what the mindset is. We're going in to win a football game, no matter where it is." Forte was not dissing the Steelers or the city of Pittsburgh; he simply was accentuating the Bears' intense focus to remain unbeaten this weekend, regardless of the opponent. The last time the Bears played the Steelers in Pittsburgh was 2005 a 21-9 Steelers victory. The Bears will need every bit of Forte's versatility as a runner, blocker and pass-catcher against the desperate 0-2 Steelers. "Coach (Marc) Trestman just continues to put us in position (in practice) where situations come up in the game and we are not surprised by them," Forte said. "So when w

12 Japanese Iwako Puzzle Erasers: 7 Zoo Animals, 4 Holiday Set Special Colors Hamsters, 1 Red Happy Valentine Prince Love Frog. Great Party Favors, Cake Decorations, Miniature Doll House Decorations. Gifts of All Occasions. Recent Review

I bought these for incentives for my kids (doing homework, etc.) and they love them. My son was so excited for the new hamster colors and my daughter loves them too. My son started collecting these at school last year and the kids trade them with each other (he's in 4th grade).These erasers are like mini puzzles - where you see different colors are actually separate pieces that come apart.You have to be careful when you're buying these little guys online - sometimes they look really inexpensive...but then they get you with the shipping. I wish there were more places we could buy these locally. We've seen them at Claires in the mail and at one of the Hallmark card stores - but other than that, everything else have been cheap knockoffs that are sometimes not even a puzzle but just a fancy eraser (that is glued together).We were really happy w/ the Amazon vendor University Gifts but I don't see any products on their store front right now. Most of the other vendor

Typhoon Usagi moves through SE Asia

20 September 2013 Last updated at 00:37 ET Typhoon Usagi has wind speeds of up to 175 km/h (109 mph) The Philippines and Taiwan are braced for Typhoon Usagi, which meteorologists say could become the most powerful typhoon of 2013. The typhoon was 560km (350 miles) east-southeast of Taiwan and 360km (225 miles) from the northern Philippines on Friday morning, weather officials said. Both Taiwan and the Philippines have issued alerts and warned boats to exercise caution. The tropical hurricane is expected to hit China over the weekend. Typhoon Usagi had wind speeds of up to 175 km/h (110 mph) and gained strength early on Friday, Pagasa, the Philippine government's weather agency, said. Philippine officials have issued storm warnings for flash flooding, landslides and storm surges for several northern provinces. Emergency and health personnel in some provinces have also been placed on standby, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said. Meanwhile, Taiwa

How to force-close apps on iOS 7

In the past, double-clicking the home button would reveal app icons you could then long press on and close out -- not on iOS 7. September 18, 2013 6:38 PM PDT (Credit: Jason Cipriani/CNET) No matter what side of the debate you stand on when it comes to clearing out apps in the app drawer on iOS, you may find yourself wanting to clear out or force close apps in iOS 7's "app drawer" but quickly realize it (like everything else) has changed. It's not completely clear how to close apps on iOS 7, but it's incredibly easy. (Credit: Screenshot by Jason Cipriani/CNET) The first thing you'll notice if you didn't catch the original demo of multitasking on iOS 7 is that double-clicking the home button no longer reveals a drawer with app icons. Instead you'll find cards, similar to what was once found on WebOS, containing a screenshot of the app with the app icon just below it. You'll be able to swipe in either direction between the cards. Swiping a

Costa Concordia Salvage Operation a 'One-Time Opportunity'

More than 500 engineers from 24 countries have begun a make-or-break engineering feat to pull the crippled Costa Concordia from its side to an upright position in the waters off Tuscany, Italy. Never before have engineers tried to right such a huge ship so close to land. The goal is to raise it from its side by 65 degrees to vertical, as a ship would normally be, for eventual towing. The salvage operation is a highly complicated procedure and there's no predicting what will happen. The cruise liner could break apart, causing an environmental disaster or roll back onto its side. If the operation succeeds, the Concordia will be towed away and broken up for scrap. Three hours into the operation, the salvage team reported that they managed to dislodge the vessel from the reef after 6,000 tons of force were applied. The Costa Concordia struck a reef near Giglio Island Jan. 13, 2012, killing 32 of the 4,200 passengers and crew members. The bodies of two of the dead have never b

Peyton Manning, Broncos blowout NY Giants as Denver QB stellar again

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Eli Manning has come along nicely. No one can deny he has been clutch a couple of times. But nobody seriously believes he's a better quarterback than his brother Peyton Manning, right? "I'd take Peyton over anybody, not just Eli. That's any quarterback ever," said Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton. For the third time in three games against each other, big brother Peyton showed little brother Eli how quarterback is played. Peyton Manning threw for two touchdowns and was again exquisite in the second half while leading the Broncos to a decisive, 41-23 victory Sunday against Eli's New York Giants before 81,285 at MetLife Stadium. "It's a strange feeling," Peyton Manning said. "It's not like beating another team. It's not quite as enjoyable as it would be beating somebody else." This game was dubbed Manning Bowl III, and the results have been Peyton, Peyton, Peyton. Eli was swept in the thre
